If a political or social movement can be considered trendy, that seems like a pretty accurate way to describe feminism at the moment: Karl Lagerfeld staged a feminist rally for Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2015 presentation, Taylor Swift assembled a star-studded girl gang for her latest music video, and some of the world’s most recognizable faces are proudly #StandingWithPlannedParenthood across social media.
This surge in attention towards female empowerment extends to Sweden, where the political party Feminist Initiative is making major waves in the country’s social conscious. With a membership of 20,000 citizens and a seat in European Parliament, Feminist Initiative—F! for short—is inspiring Swedes to take a stand on issues like pay inequality and domestic violence. One of those inspired by the party is Acne Studios’ own Johnny Johannson, who used the Swedish brand’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection to stand with the groundbreaking party.
Drawing aesthetic inspiration from the menswear-appropriating feminist activists of the 20th century, the collection includes perfectly baggy knits, tailored trousers, and uber-sporty sneakers. The feminist inspiration gets even more overt with menswear, with a sweatshirt loudly and proudly declaring its wearer a “Radical Feminist.”
Trend or not, Acne Studios’ Pre-Fall collection is taking a stand for a powerful cause. That is something that will never go out of style.
